Currently trying to commission a Siemnes PLC and analogue card as above, can some please tell me if the wiring diagram is correct. We have 5 2 wire 4-20mA signals, and the rest of the inputs are spare. TIA Mark
I'd see the connection diagram before , but it didn't show what to do with unused channels (and I thought this might be the problem), the "manual" download does show how to wire these, so thanks for that.
I think I've discovered the issue we might be having, the unit was installed to the drawings we were issued, but I'm pretty certain it's a 4-wire system on the other end of the cables and not a 2-wire as the drawings suggest!
4-wire transducers have their own powersupply. 2 wires power-supply and 2 wires for measurement. On your drawing we cant see the transducers, only the wires that go out of the AI-module. When the transducer have thier power-supply not from the AI-Module through the wires for the measurement, it is a 4-wire-transducer.
I have to say, Siemens don't make it easy! If for four wire you need to link all the negative sides of the signal to -ve, then why not do it within the square setting block you have to put in position to select the signal type.
I'm looking frantically for a wiring diagram for a pendant connection box (6AV6671-5AE10-0AX0). The only "manual" for this that is available at
support.automation.siemens.com is two pages long and says nothing about how to wire it. I'm using it (three of them, actually) to connect a Siemens Mobile Panel 277 (6AV6645-0CC01-0AX0) and I have no power. I'm using old electrical prints that I believe are not correct. They detail only the wiring for the emergency stop and liveman buttons; not actual power to the unit. If anyone could help me, I would be extremely grateful.
I am a engineering apprentice for Unilever in my final year, we have only recently started to learn about PLCs and go on courses regarding them. We are currently undergoing a energy reduction drive where we want to reduce the amount of compressed air we are using, to calculate our savings I have been given the task of using a usually panel mounted Festo SFAB 600U 2SA Q10 flowmeter and mounting in a portable box. The festo flowmeter will be then wired to my CPU1214C.
I have spoke to a few engineers in passing and they have basically said I am best using the analogue output on the flowmeter and wiring that to the analogue input on my AI expansion card. The 5-Pin flowmeter in question has the following wiring:
I've tried looking at my flowmeters manual and my S7-1200 manual but nothing really gives me a nice easy to understand overview of what I need to do. I have included the; Flowmeter Manual, The S7-1200 manual, and a simple diagram of what I intend to do and how my system should look.
Once you make the wiring, you can vary the flow and test your equipment manually using a meter for measuring current. You can verify the flow displayed in the flow meter is linear to the measured current output.
Once you are done with the wiring, you can simply use Norm X and scale X block to do the scaling of the measured current to actual flow in PLC. Then you need to see how connections are made between PLC and HMI. There are numerous videos online in youtube as well. You can always ask here if you are stuck somewhere. It is better to learn program one by one by yourself . It will make u understand more.
Hello Amit_Darwhekar,
You will found the wiring examples for all ET200S modules here
_data/GHB_ET200S_e.pdf
KiwiEngineerHI Amit,
The modules themselves have the wiring diagram printed under the lable if you slide it out you will see it.
Hello KiwiEngineer,
The printed wiring diagram under the label is very useful in maintance time. But if you are developing a new project, you may design the wiring digrams before ordering or recieving the modules. So, you should have a manual to draw the correct wiring diagram. I do recommend to have a manual collection.
Hope this helps.

They show a wiring example under the section of usuable terminal modules for that electronic module. I have attached a snap shot with my post for reference. In the wiring example shown in the snap shot, the example does not tell me whether I need to bring 24VDC supply at L+ terminals or it will be already there since module gets 24VDC through back plane bus. Also, lets say I want to use a normally open contact of a relay. Whenever this contact closes, DI0 should change its state from 0 to 1. How do I wire the terminals to achieve this? I wanted to get wiring examples to get answers to such questions. Please bear with me if my questionsappear very basic but this is the first time we are using Siemens PLCs so I don't have any reference job that is already implemented.
Hello Amit_Darwhekar,
Short answer, you do not need to bring external +L (24VDC) to terminals of TM of ET200S. Thus because ET200S design is based on not to let users to need extra terminal blocks. So if you have 3 wire proximity switch, you will need +L, -M and signal. you can wire them with pins 1 for DI0, 3 for L+ and A4 for MPlease have a look in the table in sheet 3-11 of the manual in my previous post.
